Regardless of when the performance was achieved, the times will be compared against the current season's time standards to make the determination of a swimmer's eligibility for credit; the current time standards can be found on our website here.

To apply for credit, qualified individuals must make a written request by email to Office Manager denise@swimbc.ca, outlining the following:

1. Credit(s) they would like to apply for;

2. One or more events, including the achieved time and competition it was achieved, in which they have the applicable time standards; and

3. Applicant's mailing address.

SwimBC will then mail the applicant a letter which can be presented to one's counsellor at their school.
